All comments are on a comparable basis (constant Forex, scope and methodology)

Total Revenues were up 0.8% to Euro 27,910 million.

Life & Savings revenues were up 0.6% to Euro 16,540 million.

Net inflows were positive at Euro +4.0 billion, up Euro 0.7 billion vs. 1Q09, due to both higher sales and increased client retention.

New Business Volume (APE(2)) was stable at Euro 1,631 million with a strong performance in the MedLA region and the UK, offset by the US and Japan.

New business margin was up 4.9 pts to 19.4%, mostly as a result of a strong improvement in business mix mainly driven by product redesign in the US and Japan.

Property & Casualty revenues were stable at Euro 9,243 million as the 3% growth in individual lines largely driven by a ca. 2%(1) average price increase, was offset by a 3% drop in commercial lines where the ca. 2%(2) average price increase was more than offset notably by lower volumes from portfolio pruning and reduced insured basis following the economic recession in 2009.

Asset Management revenues were up 10% to Euro 809 million, mostly due to higher average assets under management. Net outflows amounted to Euro -12 billion (ca. Euro -21 billion in 4Q09), mainly due to significantly reduced outflows at AllianceBernstein in the institutional clients segment. Assets under management reached Euro 877 billion, significantly above December 31, 2009 levels (Euro 845 billion), benefiting from positive market and forex appreciation.

European consolidated Solvency I ratio on March 31, 2010 is estimated(5) to be above 180%.

Estimated government bond exposure for selected European countries net of policyholders' participation and tax on March 31, 2010: Euro 5.2 billion for Italy, Euro 3.8 billion for Spain, Euro 0.8 billion for Portugal, Euro 0.5 billion for Greece and Euro 0.4 billion for Ireland.

Life & Savings revenues were up 0.6% to Euro 16,540 million.

Detail by country:

The United States

New business APE decreased by 25% to Euro 231 million, primarily driven by lower variable annuity sales, mainly in third-party channels, due to high level of sales in 1Q09 preceding the launch of redesigned Accumulator products with reduced benefits, partly offset by higher mutual fund sales. 1Q10 variable annuity sales were consistent with 4Q09, with positive momentum in February and March 2010, supported by the progressive launch of the new variable annuity "Retirement Cornerstone" product. Retirement Cornerstone was introduced in proprietary channels in January 2010, and in limited release within third-party channels in March before a broader launch in 2Q10.

NBV margin was up 17.5 points to 12.6%, primarily as a result of strong improvement in business mix following the introduction of a redesigned Accumulator product and the progressive launch of Retirement Cornerstone in 2010, partly offset by higher unit costs due to lower volumes.

France

New business APE was down 11% to Euro 346 million, mostly driven by:

(i) in Group lines, lower large premiums in retirement business (in both unit-linked and non unit-linked), partly offset by a good performance in Health & Protection,

(ii) in Individual lines, a slight decrease in savings sales, driven by fewer large tickets on traditional business in a context of high competition on rates, partly offset by an increase in unit-linked sales.

NBV margin was down 0.3 point to 8.5%.

The United Kingdom

New business APE was up 15% to Euro 270 million, mainly as a result of a strong increase in mutual fund sales through the new wrap platform "Elevate".

NBV margin was up 1.6 points to 10.9% mainly due to lower unit costs resulting from higher volumes.

Northern Central & Eastern Europe

Germany new business APE was down 5% to Euro 136 million mainly as a result of exceptional new business written in 2009 following the Health legislative reform, partly compensated by higher sales in short-term investment products.

NBV margin was down 1.1 points to 16.3% primarily due to higher unit costs as a result of lower volumes.

Switzerland new business APE was up 1% to Euro 128 million mainly due to higher sales in Group Life and Individual Life products (primarily "TwinStar Income").

NBV margin was down 0.5 point to 33.3%.

Belgium new business APE was up 31% to Euro 68 million mostly due to an increase in individual investment & savings sales in a context of lower competition from bank deposits.

NBV margin was up 1.2 points to 12.9% driven by an improved business mix.

Central & Eastern Europe new business APE was up 57% to Euro 51 million mostly due to the success of pension products in Poland and Hungary.

NBV margin was up 3.4 points to 23.9% driven by lower unit costs thanks to higher volumes and better business mix.

Asia Pacific

Japan new business APE decreased by 24% to Euro 91 million, mainly driven by lower Protection product sales (discontinuation of a lower margin tax-driven protection product).

NBV margin was up 10.6 points to 69.2% mainly driven by an improved business mix (notably due to the variable annuity offer redesign) partly offset by higher unit costs due to lower volumes.

Australia/New Zealand new business APE was down 6% to Euro 69 million, mainly due to a decrease in investment & savings products in the wholesale channel partly offset by an increase in mutual fund sales.

NBV margin was down 0.5 point to 11.5% notably due to higher unit costs as a result of lower volumes.

Hong Kong new business APE was up 16% to Euro 33 million, mainly due to an increase in Protection and Health sales.

NBV margin was up 1.1 points to 63.7% as a result of lower unit costs due to higher volumes.

South East Asia & China new business APE was up 93% to Euro 38 million mainly driven by higher sales of protection with savings products across the board, in particular in Indonesia via the bancassurance agreement with Mandiri.

NBV margin was up 20.7 points to 64.3% due to lower unit costs as a result of higher volumes, as well as an improved business mix.

Mediterranean and Latin America Region (MedLA)

New business APE increased by 70% to Euro 171 million, driven by higher sales in non unit-linked Investment & Savings products in Italy particularly at AXA MPS Italian Joint-Venture (NBV margin of 14%) in a context of lower competition from bank deposits, combined with strong sales in Group protection in Mexico and Accumulator products mainly in Spain.

NBV margin was up 2.6 points to 16.0%, as a result of lower unit costs due to higher volumes.

PROPERTY & CASUALTY /

Property & Casualty

Property & Casualty revenues were stable at Euro 9,243 million as the 3% growth in individual lines largely driven by a ca. 2%(1) average price increase, was offset by a -3% drop in commercial lines where the ca. 2%(2) average price increase was more than offset notably by lower volumes from portfolio pruning and reduced insured basis following the economic recession in 2009.

Net new personal contracts amounted to +303k.

Property & Casualty : IFRS revenues by country
In Euro million	1Q09	1Q10	Change on a reported basis	Change on a comparable basis
NORCEE(6)	4,108	4,091	-0.4%	-1.7%
of which Germany	1,619	1,584	-2.2%	-2.2%
of which Belgium	648	634	-2.2%	-2.2%
of which Switzerland	1,795	1,808	0.8%	-1.5%

Rest of the world	449	524	16.7%	7.4%
Total P&C revenues	9,113	9,243	1.4%	-0.1%

Personal lines were up 3% benefiting mainly from a ca. 2%(1) average price increase.

Personal Motor revenues (36% of total P&C revenues) were up 2.8% mainly driven by the UK (+31%) following double digit average rate increase and higher volumes as a result of the success of (i) the direct business platform ("Swiftcover") and (ii) the new AXA direct proposition. France was up 4% mostly driven by tariff increases while Spain was down 7% mainly due to both lower volumes as a result of severe price competition and lower guarantees.

Motor net new contracts amounted to +227k.

Personal Non-Motor revenues (22% of total P&C revenues) increased by 2.4% driven by France (+4%) largely attributable to price increases in household, and by Italy as AXA MPS household business benefited from the rebound of bank mortgage loan activity. These positive impacts were partially offset by a decrease in Germany (-4%) notably due to the medical liability segment restructuring with tariff increase and portfolio pruning.

Household net new contracts amounted to +75k.

Commercial lines were down 3% as the ca. 2%(2) average price increase was more than offset notably by lower volumes from portfolio pruning and reduced insured basis following the economic recession in 2009.

Commercial Motor revenues (8% of total P&C revenues) were down 0.4% as the 9% increase in Mexico was more that offset by negative contributions notably from Spain (-17%) and the UK (-4%) reflecting our focus on profitability.

Commercial Non-Motor revenues (34% of total P&C revenues) were down 3.3% notably due to the UK (-14%) following the exit from certain Property accounts as a result of competitive pressures pushing up commission rates, Switzerland (-4%) as a result of lower volumes mainly in the competitive Health market and Belgium (-4%) as a consequence of portfolio pruning in workers compensation.

ASSET MANAGEMENT & INTERNATIONAL INSURANCE /

Asset Management

Asset Management revenues were up 10% to Euro 809 million, mostly due to higher average assets under management.

Assets Under Management were up Euro 32 billion versus Dec 31, 2009 to Euro 877 billion at March 31, 2010, mainly as a result of :
- Net inflows: Euro -12 billion (vs. ca Euro -21 billion in 4Q09) mainly due to significantly reduced outflows at AllianceBernstein in the institutional clients segment. AXA Investment Managers outflows mostly came from the institutional clients segment (mainly at AXA Rosenberg).
- Market impact: Euro +19 billion due to market recovery.
- Forex impact: Euro +25 billion mainly as a result of the appreciation of the USD versus the Euro.
